Acyl chain-melting process monitored by in-situ DRIFTS

Lyophilized Powder	T_m (°C) ^a)	ΔT (°C) ^b)
PDP PE	~ 45.0	~ 40.0 – ~ 50.0
DPPC	~ 97.5	~ 95.0 – ~ 100.0
AuNPs with PDP PE bilayer		Melting process takes place at ≤ ~ 25.0 °C
AuNPs with mixed PDP PE-DPPC bilayer	~ 52.5	~ 35.0 – ~ 70.0
HDL AuNPs	~ 57.5	~ 50.0 – ~ 65.0

^a)

T_m: the midpoint temperature of the melting process;

^b)

ΔT: the melting range.
